One of the most exciting and radical music ensembles and shows to come out of Norway in recent years, “Next Life ” barrels into New York for a mini concert tour hosted by two of New York’s hotbeds of experimentation. Co-produced by Queer Art Impact and Ideal Glass in association with Future Perfect , Next Life’s New York coming out takes place at The Tank on Thursday March 3 at 9:30pm.

Featuring the composer and stage artist Hai Nguyen Dinh on guitars, and Tormod Christensen on keyboard and samples, Next Life’s central interest is discovering the musical potential of mixing the alternative sounds of hardcore music with gaming technology.
